# std::chrono::operator<<(std::chrono::utc_time)

From cppreference.com
< cpp‎ | chrono‎ | utc clock

Defined in header `<chrono>` |  |
template< class CharT, class Traits, class Duration > std::basic_ostream<CharT, Traits>& operator<<( std::basic_ostream<CharT, Traits>& os, const std::chrono::utc_time<Duration>& tp ); |  | (since C++20)

Outputs tp into the stream os, as if by os << std::format(os.getloc(), STATICALLY-WIDEN("{:L%F %T}"), tp), where STATICALLY_WIDEN<CharT>("{:L%F %T}") is "{:L%F %T}" if `CharT` is char, and L"{:L%F %T}" if `CharT` is wchar_t.

### Return value

os
